Provide free period products across the UK

What the petition asks
Periods are biological, it’s not something we can control and we have no choice in the matter. Why do we have to pay all this money (feminine hygiene products are expensive!) for something we didn’t ask for?
If women didn’t have periods, mankind would literally vanish. So, I don’t think we would be asking too much to reduce the cost of feminine products or make them free. By making them free, not only are you helping us with something we can't control, you're also helping those in the poverty line/in debt, as they won't have to spend as much.
